The Yankees pulled a win out of their hat when they were facing almost certain elimination.

On the good note the Yankees were not emptying out their bullpen in this game here to get the win.

What else helps the Yankees out in the game is the fact that Chapman did not have to go deep into the game to get the save in the game.

With the Astros the team has been playing good and had to bounce back from early game losses to pull out the lead. The cold weather in the New York city on Friday night definitely froze the Astros bats. The Astros managed to only get 1 run in the game and even then it was very difficult for the Astros to get that win and some people may claim that it came on defensive shortcomings of the Yankees.
A key point heading into this game is who will start for the Astros. The Astros are looking to get the potential bullpen start to push the game into an Astros win and allow Cole and Verlander to rest. However, that could be a good move by the Astros as well as they are definitely going to need to have a well rested starter to bring down the potential game 7.
